This exhibition explores the formation of identity in the young, by having children assume a sex or nationality other than their own. Together with the actor Morten Nielsen, Henrik Saxgren has investigated and challenged ideas of identity and gender.

In six workshops, 130 children from various Class 6s (average age 11 to 12 years) – with the assistance of professional make-up artists – were given the opportunity to assume another ethnic or sexual identity. The result is a series of remarkable pictures and videos which raise the question of whether it is even possible to identify people from their skin colour and sex.
